Elements of notation can be marked and named with the help of a square balloon. The primary purpose of this feature is to explain notation.
The following example demonstrates its use.
\new Voice { \applyOutput #(add-balloon-text 'NoteHead "heads, or tails?" '(1 . -3)) c8 }
The function add-balloon-text
takes the name of a grob, the
label to print, and the position where to put the label relative to
the object. In the above example, the text “heads or tails?” ends
3 spaces below and 1 space to the right of the marked head.
Program reference: text-balloon-interface.
Examples: input/regression/balloon.ly.
